What VIP Offers: Provisional patent and trademark filing assistance Access to a network of pro bono IP attorneys and patent agents Step-by-step guidance on IP strategy and commercialization Mentorship from veteran entrepreneurs who've been where you are Support navigating the USPTO, patent process, and licensing options Who We Serve: VIP serves U.S. military veterans — Active Duty, Reserve, National Guard, and all eras of service. If you served, we're here for you. Why IP Matters for Veterans: Many veterans leave service with hard-won skills, unique experiences, and innovative ideas — but lack access to the legal and business infrastructure to protect them. VIP bridges that gap. Our Mission: To ensure that no veteran inventor loses their idea, their brand, or their business opportunity due to a lack of resources or legal support.
